I have a great deal of interest in mathematics, physics, and creativity. I have been looking into either aerospace engineering or mechanical engineering for my curiosity. If there are more fields out in the work force, please let me know.

It is most appreciated if answers particularly tackle accumulative skill sets, boosting one’s academic competency, future job trajectories, valuable resources, and needed psychological/ideological compass relative to attaining the mentioned courses. Additionally, sharing experiences can do....

I want to make a strong living for myself and hopefully for a family going into my future. I want to be able to live on my right after high school. I am wondering how I should prepare myself to live up to these expectations while trying to go into this field of work.

For example, would an apprenticeship help significantly? Or would rewiring vehicles be helpful?

Im planning on studying environmental science in college and I understand that internships and research experience are important for finding a job and gaining experience in this field. Where should I look for these opportunities and what are some good resources to use ?

I am about to go to college in the fall, and I am worried about maintaining a healthy work schedule without falling behind.

I just want to know the difficulty gap between the two things. I've heard a lot from family and friends about how much easier high school was for them and I feel a bit nervous.

What are the best ways to continue professional development after graduation? Are graduate certificate programs a worthwhile way to build skills? Thank you!
